Abstract

Disclosed herein is a functionalized metal nanoparticle, a buffer layer including the functionalized metal nanoparticle, and an electronic device including the buffer layer. The buffer layer including the functionalized metal nanoparticle according to example embodiments may improve the injection of electrons or holes and the charge mobility between layers in the electronic device, may form ohmic contacts, and may improve the selectivity between electrodes and the buffer layer at the time of forming the buffer layer on the electrodes, thereby improving the efficiency of the electronic device.
